Evaluation of Current Approach

Review of Current Learning and Development Strategy
Our current L&D strategy was developed some years back and was not revised back. It was best
suitable according to the time when it was designed but it needs some improvements now. It is
not updated as per the requirements of employees and business. Today, technology is in more
demand for providing training to employees and remote learning but current L&D is more
focused on offline approaches. It is essential for a business to become successful that its L&D is
aligned with business goals. But our current L&D is not suitable to current business goals.
Employee needs are changed now and for that this L&D is not a complete solution. Also, it
doesn’t consider the future employees which are an important point in good L&D plan. For any
training, it is required to satisfy the all WHS procedures but it doesn’t consider all. It can be a
reason of more incidents at job and affecting well-being of employees. Professional
development process is very critical for the motivation of employees but it needs review as not
working according to business goals and profitability.
Suggestions for improvements

adapt to new technologies and deliver successful digital transformation projects. Leadership
development plans need to be involved to help appropriately manage succession planning to

HR and L&D needs to work in parallel. This is because there is a degree of overlap in both areas.
L&D corporate-learning activities need to be aligned with the business; they should also be an
integral part of the HR agenda. L&D will play important role in recruitment, onboarding,
performance management, promotion, workforce, and succession planning. L&D leadership is
designed to understand major HR management practices and processes and collaborate closely
with HR leaders. The best L&D functions use consolidated development feedback from
performance reviews as input for their capability-building agenda. HR works to identify how the
training needs to be provided, to whom and in which environment. Establishing a powerful
governance structure is essential wherein leadership from L&D and business units collectively
define, prioritize, design, and allocate resources for capability-building programs. With the
active involvement of top executives and senior management, organizations can ensure that
the L&D function’s vision is fully embraced and its initiatives are seamlessly aligned with the
company’s strategic goals. This L&D plan will work according to the HR strategies.
